Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters' Guild

Keep checking back if you are unable to attend meetings.  Also make sure to check our monthly newsletters. 

We hope to have another successful year and remember, we’re eager to hear your suggestions for what kinds of classes you would like to take and also welcome feedback on classes you attend. 

Thanks for your support,

Eva Hansen, Bonnie Smith and Mary Jean McEwen

Your Workshop Committee 2017/2018

To contact us, please email workshops@schoolhousequilters.com or use the guild member list for phone numbers.

General Information about our workshops:

All workshops will be from 10 am until 4 pm unless otherwise indicated.

All workshops will take place at the Guild Hall in Cumberland unless otherwise indicated.

Payment for workshops will be required at the time of registration.

Our workshops are offered on a non-profit basis.  If registration in a workshop is insufficient to cover the costs, the workshop may be cancelled.  A full refund will be issued if the workshop is cancelled.

Supply lists will be available as soon as the class has been confirmed and the instructor has supplied the list to the workshop committee.

Please do not wear perfume or other scented products as our classes are fragrance free in respect of those among us who have allergies.

Please turn off or set your phone to vibrate during classes.

If you are not enrolled in a workshop, please do not visit and disturb the workshop unless it has been specified that visitors are welcome and what time visitors may arrive.

How to Register:

You can register for classes in person at meetings.  Usually, there is also a representative in attendance at our Thursday sewing days who will be happy to register you.  Or you can print the registration form on the website and mail it to the address noted on the form.

Registration is only guaranteed once payment is made.

Workshop Registration Form

Policies

We will advertise workshops at monthly guild meetings and in newsletters.  If the class is not filled with guild members two months after registration is opened, we will contact other guilds to see if there is any interest from their members.  Proof of guild membership will be required of all individuals registering for workshops.  We will only accept registrants who are not guild members if the class has not been filled one month before the workshop.  The workshop fee will be the same amount for all registrants.

CANCELLATION POLICY: 

If you must cancel, here are some things to remember: 

•  If you are expecting a refund, you must cancel at least 10 days prior to the class.  This gives us time to check to see if there is anyone on the waiting list, contact those people to offer them your space, and wait for their decision.  It takes us time to work our way through the list in order.  Please keep in mind that the binder with the class and waiting lists is only accessible to workshop committee members at the hall on Thursdays.
• Refunds are only issued if the class is full and there are people on the waiting list who want to & are able to attend the class.

Class fees are based on a minimum break-even point. So that we can continue to offer classes, we must have a minimum of 12 students in each class.  If we don’t, we cannot cover the cost of the room rental and teacher fee.

We are conscious of the fact that we’re all members of the same guild and whenever possible, we do like to get member’s money back to them if they cannot attend.  At the end of the year, when we balance our books, we may be able to consider exceptional circumstances that will allow us to consider other refunds.

Disclaimer:  Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters cannot be responsible for loss or damage to personal belongings, nor to any injury to attendees of our workshops.

We appreciate your assistance in the smooth running of all our wonderful workshops and hope you enjoy them this year.

Your Workshop Committee,

Eva Hansen, Bonnie Smith and Mary Jean McEwen
